From the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources - March 20, 2023

The Minnesota DNR is inviting you to share your opinions on deer populations in the areas where you live and recreate. Do you think deer populations are higher or lower in recent years? Should the DNR manage to increase or decrease deer populations?

Take a few minutes to fill out the deer population management questionnaire.

Each spring, DNR Wildlife staff consider public input, deer population indices, and winter severity among other factors when making deer management decisions for the upcoming deer hunting season.

The questionnaire will be available through March 23.
